Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life. These basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence. These values are defined and protected by law. Human rights are inalienable, indivisible and interdependent. They cannot be taken away, all rights are equally important and they are complementary. Among the most fundamental elements of international human rights law are the principles of equality and non-discrimination. The purpose of this project is to teach youth workers about Human Rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace. The aim of human rights education is to create a world with values of human rights. There is the need to learn about Human Rights, how to include them and how to combat discrimination. This can be better achieved, if we understand what human rights are, how to protect them, what discrimination is and how to develop more inclusive activities in our organisations.

• Develop the knowledge about human rights and the instruments available to protect human rights within the participating countries
• Develop the skills to detect discrimination and to support young people who face discrimination
• Design and implementation of the 8 non-formal learning methods that can be used for inclusion of youth who face discrimination
